Even something stands in the way of the Party, that being frequently the beasts that appear. The GM finds an appropriate time to deploy monsters, and by this, the difficulty for the party is set as they are presented a crisis. The tale could even be exaggerated and on top of that, the party feels a sense of accomplishment making a more enjoyable session.

When a GM is handling the Bestiary Data, appropriate beasts should be chosen for the setting.

Monster Classification:

The various monsters of Raxia are classified into rough groups based upon their physiology, behavior, and other factors. Each monster is listed within these groups from lowest level to highest.

Barbarous - The general name for the variety of beastmen, from goblins to ogres and more, who were corrupted by the Second Sword of Creation, Ignis. All Barbarous have Soulscars, though how many depends upon the level of the monster in question. Level 4 and lower Barbarous tend to have horns of varying sizes, while level 5 and higher Barbarous often have odd birthmarks and even blackened eyes rimmed with gold as well.

Animals - Any monsters apart from humanoid races and Barbarous are animals. Cats, dogs, and frogs and even insects fit into this category. Some have even grown to enormous sizes. The territory is constant for whichever animal it belongs to.

Plants - The category fits the entire range of plants. These plants prey upon humans, other races, and even other plants, due to mana altering their genetics. Most are not intelligent whatsoever and only behave as their survival instinct dictates.

Undead - Skeletons and monsters like ghouls. Undead were once dead things but were animated by magic and walk the earth restlessly. Fundamentally, they are monsters weighed down with innumerable Soulscars, and are immune to effects such as Poison and Disease. "Cure Wounds" and other restorative magic will deal damage to Undead, though these spells are not normally meant for dealing damage and thus cannot critical.

Constructs - Golems and others. They were brought forth by means of magic and obey the commands they were ordered to complete as they have no natural intent or instinct. They are normally immune to Poison, Disease and Spiritual effects. Constructs have the ability to Sense Magic and are likely to react to any magic cast.

Mythical Beasts - Gryphons and the like. From whatever origins they come from, most think that the legends written in the divine language arose from being introduced to new creatures. In the real world, no such things exist.

Daemons - These monsters have been said to have clawed their way from the depths of Hell into our world. Seeking to drag others down, these abominations are reviled by everyone.

Humanoids - The catch-all name for humans, elves, dwarves, etc., essentially any PC race. These races have been touched by the light of the First Sword of Creation, Lumiere. Typically, this data will show humans, but substituting other races is rather simple.

Reading Monster Data

1R bestiary.png

1. Level: The monster's level.

2. Title: The monster's name.

3. Intellect: Expresses how well the monster's ability to make rational decisions is.

  • None: Not able to think logically, behaving only through instinct.
  • Animal: Has instincts like an animal. Attacks and defends out of instinct and can run away during a critical situation.
  • Low Intellect: Almost completely behaves out of instinct, thinks selfishly of profit and is able to speak.
  • Average Intellect: Humans and other races have similar intelligence. They use money-making tactics and negotiate until a decision can be made.
  • High Intellect: Has a higher intellect than most humans.
  • Servant: Obeys each command given, but is not functional without someone to order it.

4. Perception: The use of a monster's senses.

  • Five Senses: General sight, hearing and touch and being able to grasp one's environment. Sight, Hearing and Touch are the senses with the most emphasis. Having abilities like Darkvision is similar to Sight during the daytime.
  • Magic: Recognizing the activity of Mana in an environment. Light and illusions cannot delude someone with this type of perception.
  • Mechanical: Sensors and cameras scan the perimeter of their location. Light and illusions are not deceiving to them.

5. Language: Which language a monster uses. Some monsters even know multiple languages. A monster labeled as having none cannot use them.

6. Habitat: The place that a monster normally appears at. Some monsters may exist outside of the normal habitat however.

7. Disposition: if a monster would happen to meet the party, this is what behavior they would show.

  • Friendly: Basically, they side with the party's purpose. If injury was inflicted upon them, they would retaliate and become an enemy.
  • Neutral: Their disposition toward the party may change due to the party's attitude, becoming either friendly or hostile.
  • Hostile: They are wish only to harm the party and act on this intent. A hostile enemy will not attempt to understand the party's intent.
  • Hungry: A monster may feel hungry for the party's loot and food and will battle without thinking. The GM decides on the condition of each monster.
  • Instructed: The instruction received determines the monster's reaction towards PCs. If the instruction was to hinder the PCs progress, the monster is hostile. Otherwise, PCs will tend to be ignored.

8. Reputation/Weakness: Indicates how well known the monster is. The lower the Reputation, the more likely it is to be commonly known. Listed after the monster's Reputation value is that monster's Weakness value. At the Beginning of Combat, you may roll a Monster Knowledge check.
If you succeed against the Reputation, you may ask the GM or check the rulebook for information on that monster. If you also succeed against that monster's Weakness value with Sage class, you may also take advantage of the Weak Point. If you fail, you learn nothing.

9. Initiative: Helps determine the likelihood of going first in battle. When determining Initiative, the highest Initiative value of the monsters is used as the target for the PCs' Initiative Check. If any PC passes this check, they are the leading party in combat; otherwise, the monsters lead.

10. Movement Speed: The speed at which a monster moves during a Normal Move (measured in meters). A Full Move is three times this distance. A monster's means of movement is assumed to be Walking unless otherwise noted, as Flight and Swimming speeds are also noted here. If there is more than one method listed, it means there are multiple methods of movement.

11. Fortitude: Represents the Fortitude of the monster; add this number to a Fortitude Check. The number in parentheses is the average result of 2d + Fortitude, use this when you want a static value for Fortitude.

12. Willpower: Represents the Willpower of the monster; add this number to a Willpower Check. The number in parentheses is the average result of 2d + Willpower, use this when you want a static value for Willpower.

13. Attributes (Fighting Style, Accuracy, Damage, Evasion, Defense, HP, MP): Summarizes a number of statistics of monsters. If a monster has multiple sections, each section can be used once per turn, though it can still only move once in total.

  • Fighting Style
The monster's method of attack. If a monster has multiple sections, each section has its own method of attack, which will be listed. Any notation (such as "Wing x2") means there are that many of that particular section.
  • Accuracy
Shows how accurate this attack is; add this number to an Accuracy Check. The number in parentheses is the average result of 2d + Accuracy, use this when you want a static value for Accuracy. If there is no value listed, that section does not have any offensive capabilities.
  • Damage
If an attack hits, roll this to determine damage dealt. Unless otherwise noted, all damage dealt is physical.
  • Evasion
Shows how evasive the monster is; add this number to an Evasion Check. The number in parentheses is the average result of 2d + Evasion, use this when you want a static value for Evasion.
  • Defense
The Defense of the monster. Reduce physical damage dealt to the monster by the amount shown here.
  • HP
The maximum HP of the monster. It is up to the GM whether or not to roll a Death Check when the monster drops to 0 HP or lower. Otherwise, the monster is destroyed when their HP is at or below 0.
  • MP
The maximum MP of the monster.

14. Body Sections: The list of the sections of the monster. If there is no listing, there is only one section.

15. Main Body Section: The central section of the monster. If the HP of this section falls to 0 or below, that monster is considered dead. Only monsters with multiple sections has this listed.

16. Weak Point: The weakness of the monster. If any character's Monster Knowledge Check rolling with Sage class is equal to or greater than the Weakness value (listed above), that character and any of their allies know of and can utilize this weakness.

17. Unique Skills: Any unique skills are listed here, complete with descriptions. A skill will be formatted the same way every time, for easy reading. For example, the skill Flame Breath looks like this: [Flame Breath / 5 (12) / Fortitude / Half]. Respectively, the format for each skill is as follows: [Name of Skill / Roll Modifier (Average Roll) / Type of Resistance / Result of Successful Resistance].
If a monster has a Magic Skill listed, they may ignore the requirements to cast that type of magic. For monsters with multiple body sections, if the name of the monster is listed, all of the unique skills listed underneath apply to all sections of the monster.

18. Loot: Items held by a monster, are dropped when that monster dies. If loot is marked Always PCs will always get one when they defeat that monster. For loot with a number when checking the body of a monster, roll 2d and compare the results to the loot table. Some loot can be sold, which is shown as the amount in parentheses.

19. Description: Ecology of the monster, including a description of physical characteristics. Also may contain special rules for the monster.

The kobold is the weakest monster in the Barbarous family. Standing about 1m20cm, they are close to a dog's length when standing upright. Among other Barbarous, they are treated like a slave, and may escape to humanoid towns where they help with cooking. As perpetual servants, kobolds are surprisingly good at cooking, and an adventurer will often spot a kobold in a restaurant's kitchen.

8+ Strange Necklace (160G)

Gremlins appear to be small children with hair covering their entire body, with small fangs and bat-like wings. They are often very mischievous and dexterous creatures. However, the reason for this has not yet been discovered and people often simply say that gremlins like to ridicule.

2 Goblin
Int: Low Perc: 5 Senses (Darkvision) Lang: Barbaric, Youma
Hab: Forest, Mountains, Caves Disp: Hostile
Rep/Weak: 5 / 10 Init: 11 Move Spd: 11 Fort: 3 (10) Will: 3 (10)

Loot
2 - 3 Crude Weapon (10G)
4 - 9 Weapon (30G)
10+ High-quality Weapon (150G)

A goblin is shorter in height than a human and has much shorter arms and legs. Goblins usually have big eyes and long noses. If it sees you as superior, it fears for its life and without thought, it begins to obey commands immediately. They are rather unintelligent creatures and often steal and rob to survive. In addition, they completely lack the reflex to flee from danger.

2 Redcap
Int: Low Perc: 5 Senses (Darkvision) Lang: Barbaric, Youma

They are very patient and often attack humans in groups. In addition, small redcaps have white hair, but it is said to be dyed a deep-red with repeated murders.

3 Invisible Beast
Int: Low Perc: 5 Senses (Scent) Lang: Barbaric

The initial attack against an Invisible Beast is made with a -4 Accuracy penalty; all subsequent attacks (or if it is bloodied) are made at -2 Accuracy.
Loot
2 - 7 None
8+ Clear Jewel (200G)

A rare beast with a transparent body, not much is known about its ecology. An invisible beast, when it chooses to appear (or is killed), appears to be a bizarre humanoid creature with transparent skin and horribly sharp claws. Sadly, little else is known.

3 Boggart
Int: Low Perc: 5 Senses (Darkvision) Lang: Barbaric, Youma
Hab: Forest, Mountains, Caves Disp: Hostile
Rep/Weak: 7 / 13 Init: 11 Move Spd: 14 Fort: 4 (11) Will: 4 (11)
Fighting Style Accuracy Damage Evasion Defense HP MP
Weapon 4 (11) 2d + 5 4 (11) 3 21 10

Unique Skills
[Continuous Attack]
If a Boggart successfully hits a target in melee, they may make a second attack against the same target.
Loot
2 - 6 Weapon (30G)
7+ High-quality weapon (150G)

Lithe and slender, a boggart uses its wiry form to cause incredible bloodshed. About the size of a human, boggarts have no productivity to speak of, and make a living killing and stealing from others. In addition, boggarts are often so caught up in their bloody revels that they will not surrender, instead fighting to the death.

Boggarts will capture humans, goblins, and redcaps with no impunity, and force their captives to obey their every whim. Boggarts are also able to domesticate wolves, as there are often wolf packs following a band of boggart hunters.

4 Medusa
Int: Average Perc: 5 Senses (Darkvision) Lang: Barbaric, Youma
Hab: Dungeons Disp: Hostile
Rep/Weak: 10 / 15 Init: 13 Move Spd: 14 Fort: 4 (11) Will: 6 (13)
Fighting Style Accuracy Damage Evasion Defense HP MP
Gorgon's Mane 6 (13) 2d + 2 4 (11) 2 28 22
Weak Point: Physical Damage +2 pts.
Unique Skills
[Simultaneous Attack]
A Medusa's Gorgon's Mane attacks all characters in the battlefield, but a separate Accuracy Check is needed for each character.
[Snake Venom / 5 (12) / Fort / Negated]
Each time Gorgon's Mane successfully hits, the stricken character makes a Fortitude Check or receives an additional 3 Poison-type damage.
[Eyes of Stone / 4 (11) / Will / Negated]
At the end of each round, if a character is facing a Medusa, they need to roll a Willpower Check or receive a cumulative -6 penalty to either Dexterity or Agility (randomly determined). If either ability score drops to 0, the character immediately turns to stone. If the opponent uses a mirror or other means to indirectly confirm her position, the penalty modifier is -2 points.
Loot
Always Viper of Medusa (50G)
2 - 9 None
10 - 12 Gems (1d x 150G)
13+ Eyes of Stone (1,200G)

Often mistaken for a human female, Medusae are really Barbarous with multiple thin snakes for hair. Not only can a Medusa slowly petrify unlucky adventurers, but the hair-snakes are poisonous as well.

Rarely, a Medusa's eyes may retain their fearsome gaze after death. These magical eyes can be used to make magical armor to protect against petrification, and command a high price in the markets.

4 Lesser Ogre
Int: Average Perc: 5 Senses (Darkvision) Lang: Trade Common, Barbaric, Ogrish, Arcana
Hab: Various Disp: Hostile
Rep/Weak: 9 / 14 Init: 13 Move Spd: 14 Fort: 5 (12) Will: 6 (13)
Fighting Style Accuracy Damage Evasion Defense HP MP
Weapon 5 (12) 2d + 4 5 (12) 2 36 20
Weak Point: Accuracy +1
Unique Skills
[Truespeech Magic (Level 3) / Magic Power 5 (12)]
A Lesser Ogre may cast Truespeech Magic as a third-level Sorcerer. For individual spell effects, refer to that spell's description.
[Personification]
As a Minor Action, a Lesser Ogre may take on the appearance and mannerisms of a character they have eaten. When transformed, the Lesser Ogre's maximum HP and MP are decreased by 5. Accuracy, Evasion, Fortitude and Willpower are also reduced by 1 point each. This form can be held up to a total of 18 hours per day.
Loot
2 - 3 None
4 - 8 Bag of Silver (1d x 30G)
9 - 10 Large Bag of Silver (1d x 100G)
11+ Gems (1d x 150G)

Standing about 2m tall, a Lesser Ogre is a fearsome flesh-eating behemoth of pure muscle. Even though a Lesser Ogre is slight in build (compared to other Ogres), they make up for their shortcomings by being proficient with magic. Lesser Ogres can also shapechange into a humanoid race, and can speak fluently enough to blend in. A Lesser Ogre can only shapechange into a humanoid whose heart he's eaten, and gains the knowledge of that person.

Transformed Lesser Ogres often attempt to infiltrate the higher ranks of society in an attempt to learn all they can. Once they feel this mission has been accomplished, the Ogres return to the Barbarous for debriefing.

It is rather difficult to detect a transformed Lesser Ogre, as the transformation is nearly perfect to normal observation. A handful of spells, including Sense Enemy and Banish, can pierce through the illusion. However, the spellcaster must be vigilant, as an Ogre is still a dangerous enemy...

5 Gilman
Int: Average Perc: 5 Senses (Darkvision) Lang: Barbaric, Gilman
Hab: Coast, River Delta Disp: Hostile
Rep/Weak: 13 / 16 Init: 13 Move Spd: 18 / 18 (Swimming) Fort: 7 (14) Will: 7 (14)
Fighting Style Accuracy Damage Evasion Defense HP MP
Weapon 7 (14) 2d + 7 7 (14) 3 32 23
Weak Point: Fire Damage +3 pts.
Unique Skills
[Feint Attack]
A Gilman receives a +1 Accuracy bonus to the next attack. Characters wearing Metal Armor are unaffected.
Loot
2 - 3 None
4 - 8 Mysterious Shells (130G)
9+ Gems (1d x 150G)

Gilmen are humanoid in shape, with fish-like faces and covered in fine scales from head to toe. Able to breathe and move in water without penalty, Gilmen tend to live close to, if not in, the water. Caves and estuaries near rivers are common Gilman settlements, but there are also underwater civilizations as well.

Gilmen tend to share few to no values with humanoid races, and are fairly emotionless. In combat, a Gilman will fight to win, and will stick around to protect allies even if it becomes disadvantageous to do so. They are also rather stoic and will not panic, even if abandoned by their allies.

6 Drake (Human Form)
Int: High Perc: 5 Senses (Darkvision) Lang: Barbaric, Trade Common, Drakish, Arcana
Hab: Various Disp: Hostile
Rep/Weak: 10 / 17 Init: 16 Move Spd: 20 / 40 (Flying) Fort: 9 (16) Will: 10 (17)

A Drake may cast Spiritualism Magic as a fifth-level Conjurer. For individual spell effects, refer to that spell's description.
[Mana Strike]
A Drake can deal an additional 8 damage on their next attack. However, any Evasion, Fortitude or Willpower Check made by the Drake this turn receives a -1 penalty.
[Dragonification]
As a Major Action, the Drake transforms into a dragonic form, healing all HP and MP. Any lingering magical effects are removed as well. For more information, see the Drake (Dragon Form) data. A Drake cannot transform for an hour after using this ability.
[Flight]
A Drake receives a +1 bonus to Accuracy and Evasion only for melee attacks.
Loot
Always Sword Shard (200G)

Drakes are similar in appearance to beautiful young men and women, though horns gracefully sweep from their head and membranous wings sprout from their backs. Drakes are able to transform into huge dragons that wield massive swords infused with magic.

Other Barbarous look to Drakes as natural leaders, and huge forces have been known to gather at a Drake's beck and call. While there is often little cooperation between Drakes, in rare cases a powerful "king" Drake appears, accompanied by many other Drakes. In these cases, there is no hope for the opposition.

7 Drake (Dragon Form)
Int: High Perc: 5 Senses (Darkvision) Lang: Barbaric, Trade Common, Drakish, Arcana
Hab: Various Disp: Hostile
Rep/Weak: 12 / 18 Init: 18 Move Spd: 20 / 40 (Flying) Fort: 10 (17) Will: 11 (18)

[Spiritualism Magic (Level 5) / Magic Power 9 (16)]
A Drake may cast Spiritualism Magic as a fifth-level Conjurer. For individual spell effects, refer to that spell's description.
[Energy Breath / 8 (15) / Fortitude / Half]
The Drake may vomit a mass of pure energy, directed towards a single target. The energy travels to a range of 50m, and deals 2d + 10 Energy-type damage. This ability cannot be used in consecutive turns.
[Humanification]
As a Minor Action, a Drake can change from a dragonic form to a human. However, any HP lost as a dragon is carried over as a human, which may cause death if enough HP is lost. For more information, see the Drake (Human Form) data.

  • Wings

[Flight]
A Drake receives a +1 bonus to Accuracy and Evasion only for melee attacks. If one of the wings falls to 0 HP or lower, this ability cannot be used.

Loot
2 - 6 Sword Shard (200G)
7 - 10 Sword Shard x2 (400G)
11 Sword Shard x3 (600G)
12+ Decaying Magic Sword (4,000G)

The Drake, while it is transformed, takes on a silvery-white sheen of razor-edged scales. Its physique becomes sleek and streamlined, and its wings become as sharp as a sword. Despite it's bulk, a transformed Drake can strike as fast (if not faster) than it could in it's humanoid form.

6 Troll
Int: Average Perc: 5 Senses (Darkvision) Lang: Barbaric, Giantish
Hab: Caves Disp: Hostile
Rep/Weak: 6 / 11 Init: 10 Move Spd: 12 Fort: 2 (9) Will: 3 (10)
Fighting Style Accuracy Damage Evasion Defense HP MP
Weapon 9 (16) 2d + 10 7 (14) 5 40 26
Weak Point: Magic Damage +2 pts.
Unique Skills
[Divine Magic (Level 5) / Magic Power 7 (14)]
A Troll may cast Divine Magic as a fifth-level Priest. It is up to the GM to determine any Special Divine Spells. For individual spell effects, refer to that spell's description.
[Power Attack]
A Troll can deal an additional 4 damage on their next attack. However, any Evasion Check made by the Troll this turn receives a -2 penalty.
[Weakening]
As long as a Troll is under sunlight, it receives a -2 penalty to all Accuracy and Evasion Checks.
Loot
Always Troll Blood (100G)
2 - 8 Large Weapon (300G)
9+ Gems (1d x 150G)

A Troll's stature is like that of a boulder; standing taller than 3m, its skin is tougher than that of a rock. For a Barbarous, Trolls have incredible discipline and take great pride in maintaining their physique. Although this bulk prevents Trolls from being fast, they have made up for it in advancing their technology level to be able to forge quality weapons. It is not uncommon to see Trolls with fine swords or maces in hand. Trolls also tend to be rather spiritual, praying to the Malevolent Gods more often than most other Barbarous.

Troll blood is said to be a symbol of power as well, and it is often used as a sort of paint. When applied by a Troll, it will strengthen weapons, armor, even a Troll's skin can be toughened by their own blood. Trolls are often nocturnal creatures as well, and dislike bright lights. Sunlight, in particular, will significantly weaken a Troll, and they abhor going out during the daytime.

6 Lamia
Int: High Perc: Magic Lang: Barbaric, Trade Common, Drakish, Arcana
Hab: Civilized Lands Disp: Neutral
Rep/Weak: 12 / 16 Init: 12 Move Spd: 12 Fort: 7 (14) Will: 9 (16)
Fighting Style Accuracy Damage Evasion Defense HP MP
Tail 8 (15) 2d + 8 7 (14) 3 28 42
Weak Point: Earth Damage +3 pts.
Unique Skills
[Truespeech Magic, Spiritualism Magic (Level 5) / Magic Power 9 (16)]
A Lamia may cast both Truespeech and Spiritualism Magic as a fifth-level Sorcerer and Conjurer. For individual spell effects, refer to that spell's description.
[Drain Blood]
If the Lamia successfully hits with a Tail attack, it may wrap around the target and bite the target for 2d + 2 Physical damage, recovering HP equal to the applied damage dealt. In that case Tail deals no damage (2d+8).
[Transformation]
As a Minor Action, the Lamia may take on a human shape. While transformed, the Lamia receives a -1 penalty to Accuracy, Evasion, Fortitude and Willpower. In addition, both maximum HP and maximum MP are reduced by 5 points. While transformed, the Lamia cannot use a Tail attack. A Lamia may be transformed for up to 18 hours a day.
Loot
2 - 4 None
5 - 8 Strange Necklace (160G)
9+ Armband of Spirit (500G)

Lamia are Barbarous with the upper body of an attractive human female, but the lower body of a huge serpent. They tend to live not far from humanoid settlements, as they require blood to live. Despite this sanguine reliance, not every Lamia wishes to kill, and some even despair at the thought of having to suck blood to live. However, many humanoids feel that having a Lamia live with them is a horrible idea, and so those Lamia who live in relative peace with humanoids are rare.

In rare cases, there are those specimens with finer scales than usual. If enough of these scales can be harvested and brought to a skilled armorsmith, high-quality scale mail can be made.

Humanoids, Barbarous, Animals and Mythical Beasts can all become Revenants. ※ denotes the statistics of the base creature while it was alive. If it had any Classes, they are one level lower than they were while it was alive. Any Combat Feats and/or Unique Skills are retained, though magic cannot be cast.
A Revenant has an intense hatred of the living, and will kill without discrimination. It retains little to no memory of its previous life, and its mind is too distorted to be affected by any outside influences. If a Revenant is reduced to 0 HP or lower, it is utterly destroyed and cannot be revived.

3 - 4 Zombie Eye (30G)
5+ Zombie Eye x2 (60G)

When mana remains in a body after death, it will eventually cause the corpse to move on its own. Similar results can be obtained through the spell Create Undead, though such magic tends to be unsavory from an ethical point of view. Zombie eyes can be dried and ground into a medicine, but anyone taking such medicine would do good not to imbibe too much.

While some individual Zombies may be missing some body parts, such as a leg or arm, there is no impact on the Zombie's abilities as a result.

2 - 9 None
10+ Ghoul Coin (300G)

A Ghoul is an undead that eats rotting corpses. Their "prey" is left to decay for a while after the kill, so that the Ghoul can feed off of the rot and corruption. Compared to Zombies, a Ghoul decays at a much slower rate due to the toxin in their system. When the toxin is extracted from the body, it can be used on wood to preserve it. Additionally, the amber sediment inside a Ghoul's eye can be extracted and solidified into a a small disc, which has taken the colloquial name "ghoul coin" among collectors of such objects.

Seemingly identical to the Ghoul, a Ghoul Mage has the intellect to understand human speech. Often, such Ghouls will use their superior intellect to trap intelligent beings for food. Ghoul Mages are also fairly competent leaders, and there are stories of remote towns overtaken by an army of Ghouls led by a Mage.

Rarely, one will find a Ghoul Mage with enough mana that it even crystallizes in the "ghoul coin". These high-quality coins glitter with an unearthly pattern, and will undoubtedly fetch quite the price to the right collector

Can pass through narrow gaps, etc. Physical ability is the same as an ordinary housecat.
Loot
None

This creature is primarily an instrument meant to lend assistance to Sorcerers. While they tend to avoid conflict, a familiar may need to engage in melee, which is where the above statistics come into play. In addition, the appearance of the familiar may change with permission from the Game Master.
The Familiar's Master is allowed to use the Familiar's MP as though it were his own. The Familiar needs to be in physical contact with the Master, and recovers MP at the same rate as the Master.
In addition, if the PC has any levels in the Sorcerer class, they automatically know the lore and value of any given monster, so long as they have a Familiar. A Monster Knowledge check is still required in order to determine the monster's Weakness.

A construct that is often seen in the company of spellcasters, it uses the same statistics as the cat familiar. Because of it's flight capability, it can be used as a very effective scout. The exact type of bird varies from spellcaster to spellcaster, but typically the familiar is of a smaller species of bird, such as crows and pigeons. If knocked out while flying, a bird familiar will lose altitude, but does not receive falling damage.
In addition, if the PC has any levels in the Sorcerer class, they automatically know the lore and value of any given monster, so long as they have a Familiar. A Monster Knowledge check is still required in order to determine the monster's Weakness.

The reason for their creation has been forgotten to time, though their extremely gaunt frame and pitch-black body is difficult to forget. Ghasts are not known to be solitary, so if one is seen others are sure to follow. Occasionally, Ghasts will be summoned by Barbarous carrying magical stones.

9+ Magitech Components (300G)

Bipedal magitech robots, a GAR-UI unit stands about 2m tall. Seemingly built for security, they are often found among ruins of the Al Menas civilization. When entering combat, a GAR-UI transforms each hand into a gun to fire upon intruders. These guns, however, cannot be scavenged and used after the GAR-UI is defeated.

Loot
2 - 8 None
9+ Gamels (1d x 200G)

Crafted from flesh, a Flabby Golem appears to be a simplified modeling of a human. Standing about 2-3m tall, it is a hideous sight to behold. Magicians rarely use Flabby Golems as receptacles to hold treasure, and as such will roll on the table for loot as normal. If a Flabby Golem is constructed in sight of the adventurers, such background circumstances cannot be considered and any loot rolls will be automatically treated as "None".

In addition, if the PC has any levels in the Conjurer class, they automatically know the lore and value of the Flabby Golem. A Monster Knowledge check is still required in order to determine the Flabby Golem's Weakness.It can be given simple instructions, like "move to that spot", "attack that target", or "attack anything that approaches", or complex instructions to the extent that such could be understood by young children.

Unique Skills
[Engulf / 7 (13) / Fort / Negated]
Each target hit by a Blob needs to roll a Fortitude Check or be engulfed by the Blob. They may not move or take an Action, and each round they receive an additional 2d + 1 magic damage. Each round, an engulfed character is entitled to another Fortitude Check to free themselves.
[Soft Body]
Bludgeoning weapons treat the Blob's Defense as 5 points higher. In addition, Throw or similar attacks deal no damage and have no effect.
[Acidic Body]
When you attack or receive an attack from a Blob, that weapon or armor will melt into nothing after 24 hours. This can be avoided by washing the affected weapon or armor with alcohol or wine within 24 hours.
Loot
Always Jelly-like Material (100G)
2 - 11 None
12+ Mini-Blob (1,500G)

A Blob is a translucent, light-green jelly that is highly acidic (able to dissolve metal). Originally the result of a magical experiment gone wrong, it now divides itself to increase its population. Occasionally, it is possible to treat the site of division of a Blob in order to neutralize its acidity. In doing so, one can take a mini-blob as a pet.

Loot
2 - 5 None
6 - 12 Enchanted Stone (250G)
13+ Mithril (2,600G)

A golem made from stone, it is a fearsome creature to encounter. Typically standing around 2m, a Stone Servant appears as a great stone snake, given human arms and legs. Some Durandal-era Stone Servants may rarely have mythril worked into their forms, and were capable of receiving rather complex instructions from their creators. However, there is currently no one known to have the skill to create such works, and the few animate Stone Servants from that time continue to follow their ancient constructor's instructions, disregarding anything and anyone else.

Having one constructed takes a long time, between acquiring the materials and performing rituals to infuse those materials with mana. Such construction is incredibly difficult, and is rarely seen in modern times.

In addition, if the PC has any levels in the Conjurer class, they automatically know the lore and value of the Stone Servant. A Monster Knowledge check is still required in order to determine the Stone Servant's Weakness. It can be given simple instructions, like "move to that spot", "attack that target", or "attack anything that approaches".

Unique Skills
  • Chassis

[Large]
Unless the Chassis of the DOOM is reduced to 0 HP or less, the Turret may not be engaged in melee combat.
[Anti-Personnel Missile / 6 (13) / Fort / Negated]
Once per turn, as a Major Action, the DOOM may fire this attack and hit up to 20 targets on the battlefield within a 6m radius, dealing 15 Physical damage. This ability can only be used twice per combat.

  • Chassis/Turret

[Ammunition]
The DOOM's Machine Gun holds 6 bullets, and has a range of 10m, while the Cannon has a 30m range and 1 shot. Once the magazine is empty, the DOOM must take a Major Action to replicate ammunition and reload its guns before firing again.
[Hawk Eye & Precise Shot]
Attacks fired into a battlefield cannot misfire. The DOOM can attack characters in front of it that are outside the battlefield or under cover.
[Mechanical Body]
The DOOM is immune to criticals from edged weapons.

Loot
Always Iron (20G)
2 - 7 None
8 - 10 Magitech Components (300G)
11+ Rare Magitech Components (900G)

The DOOM series of magitech robots were used during the Al Menas era as large-scale combat machines. Built with four legs and a rotating turret, they can move rather quickly and fire at moving targets without trouble. If one manages to disable a DOOM unit, they would likely find highly technical magitech components that cannot be replicated. These components could fetch a good amount of money to the right buyer.

The Queen DOOM's Machine Gun holds 6 bullets, and has a range of 10m, while the Main Battery has a 30m range and 1 shot. Once the magazine is empty, the Queen DOOM must take a Major Action to replicate ammunition and reload its guns before firing again.
[Hawk Eye & Precise Shot]
Attacks fired into a battlefield cannot misfire. The Queen DOOM can attack characters in front of it that are outside the battlefield or under cover.
[Mechanical Body]
The Queen DOOM is immune to criticals from edged weapons.
[Protective Shield Deployment]
When the Queen DOOM takes Physical or Magical Fire-, Water-, Wind-, Earth-, or Thunder-type damage, a protective shield forms around it, nullifying any subsequent attacks of the same element. Once a new protective shield is put up with Minor Action, the previous protective shield loses its effectiveness.

  • Chassis

[Large]
Unless one Chassis of the Queen DOOM is reduced to 0 HP or less, neither Turret may not be engaged in melee combat. If both Chassis are destroyed, reduce each Turret's Evasion by -4.

Loot
Always Iron (20G)
2 - 9 Magitech Components (300G)
10 - 12 Rare Magitech Components (900G)
13+ Mysterious Magitech Components (2,400G)

A huge weapon made solely for combat, the Queen DOOM is a marvelous relic from the Al Menas civilization. Armed with a machine gun on each arm and two shoulder-mounted cannons, a Queen DOOM races across the battlefield on its eight legs to destroy anything in its way. Each weapon is independently operated, and so the Queen DOOM has four attacks each round, firing off an incredible amount of artillery at their target.

As with the DOOM series, the Queen DOOM units are made with fabulously rare magitech materials. If one can defeat a Queen DOOM without destroying these materials, they can command stunningly high prices.

Unique Skills
[Enchanting Song / 3 (10) / Will / Negated]
One target within 20m is required to make a Willpower Check. If that check is failed, the target obeys the Deela Harpy's commands, contained in the lyrics of the song. The commands must be simple, and the target will not obey any commands to harm themselves. If the target loses any HP or MP, the effects of the song are broken.
Loot
2 - 9 None
10+ Arcana-Language Books (1d x 170G)

A mythical beast, combining the appearance of a bird with that of a beautiful woman. Quietly interacting with humans since the Durandal period, Deela Harpynow live deep in mountains and forests. If one happens to know either the Arcana or Elven languages, it is quite possible to converse with Deela Harpy.

Often mild-mannered, a Deela Harpy tends to avoid fights with humanoids unless there is a compelling reason to do so. In addition, there are those who prefer reading to talking, and there are those who carry manuscripts of books that date back to the Durandal period.

[Flame Immunity]
A Hellhound takes no damage from Fire-type effects.
Loot
2 - 3 None
4 - 11 Hellhound Hide (140G)
12+ Flame Crystal (1,600G)

Hellhounds are large dogs with jet-black fur, often seen spitting gouts of flame. Many traditions refer to them as guardians of hell, though this is not necessarily the truth of the matter. Occasionally, there may be a red crystal in the body of a Hellhound. As this crystal constantly radiates heat, even after the death of the Hellhound, scholars believe these crystals are the source of the Hellhound's flame breath and fire immunity.

8 - 10 Thunderbird Beak (350G)
11+ Lightning Crystal (1,600G)

A huge bird cloaked in lightning, a Thunderbird's body shines brightly in the sky. Even in the midst of combat, the electricity arcing off of one of these great birds is rather intense.

Thunderbirds often do not stay in one territory for long, and are difficult to track down for any purpose. Only rarely does a Rhunderbird settle down and create a nest, and more often than not it is due to spawning.

A mythical beast with the head and wings of an eagle, and the body of a lion. Gryphons are surprisingly agile in the air for their bulk, and often nest in holes dug into cliffsides. A Gryphon is attracted to and tends to collect shining objects, such as precious metals and Gems. If they find an intruder trying to steal their shinies, a Gryphon will attack violently. Rarely, there are Gryphons who understand the common trade language. These Gryphons tend to be slightly less aggressive than their less intelligent counterparts, and will indulge in conversation, to a point.

Daemons

2 - 8 None

11 Daemon's Ring (600G)

A Dusky Grace is, compared to other daemons, rather small. Standing slightly taller than a human, these daemons have light gray skin and an elongated, prehensile tail.

There is much unknown about the Dusky Grace, whether their motivation, their cause, or any of their actions. In fact, what little is known is that they have no relation to the Swords of Creation whatsoever. However, there is some special magic in the daemon's blood, and painters will pay good money to find some.

With large, filmy wings and bright red skin, a Zalbard towers over most humanoids at a height of 3m. With their burning eyes and magic from the Malevolent Gods, they attack from the sky in a burning rage. Often, ruins from the Durandal period have gargoyles styled similarly to the Zalbard daemons. This similarity is enough for scholars to believe that Zalbard daemons were already in Raxia at that time, and have not left since.
